The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 24
~(Raziel) I had been tracking Rayne for weeks now, in case she was using her powers unknowingly again. She could do some real damage to herself, and possibly others, being untrained. I made it my personal business to keep track of her unsolicited magic usage. Whether she liked it or not, her whole life was my personal business, so why not? Nevermind the fact that she should have been dead the moment I found her in my dream. I should have crushed her windpipe without hesitation, and had it been anyone else, I would have. Never had I found myself in such a conundrum before. She had access to a plethora of powers that she really had no idea about, and any of those powers could start to form at any time. She already was using fireballs and dreamwalking. What would be next? Materializing, freezing an entire town? Overreacting and causing an explosion the equivalent of a nuclear blast? I should have taken her heart from her chest the moment I found her using unchecked pow

~(Rayne) "Raphael?" I said softly, as I opened the silver door to his bedroom. He was inside at his bar getting a drink. "Well, hello beautiful." He said, as he turned around with two drinks in his hand. His was silver, of course. But to my surprise mine was gold, which made me think of my Demon. He started walking towards me as I walked further into the room. We met halfway at the globe and chairs where we had started to read last time. He handed me my drink and motioned for me to sit down. I couldn't help but admire Raphael’s sheer beauty. He was wearing a solid silver suit jacket and suit pants, which I thought would definitely be too much silver, but it really wasn't, not on him. He had a black suit vest underneath, a black tie and black shoes. The silver suit jacket had black accents, but the pants didn't, and that made up just enough offset to work. I noted how the color brought out the dark tones in his golden skin. His hair was neat but a little tousled in t

"Dreamwalking?!" Wynter screeched after we woke up and she re-lived my dream. "So it wasn't a dream after all. Shit..." I huffed. Raphael clearly said dreamwalking was real, it was something a Reaver could do easily and enjoyed it. It would make sense that I could do it as well. I knew now that I was much more than just a Wolf. That would mean I dreamwalked to Raziel’s dream too. And when I summoned him to my dream with Alpha Drake, that was also real. Well, he was, at least. I wondered how often I had unknowingly done this in the past. I started to panic thinking I had unknowingly trespassed in other people’s dreams. Then I noticed I still had that tingly feeling on my face where Raphael had cupped it last night. I got up and went into my bathroom to check the mirror but before I could make it in there my phone went off. I groaned and turned around to grab it. It was Brett. ‘Search party to look for Eric in 2 hours, I’ll pick you up at your house. You are not mi

Shaking, I got up off my bed and went to my closet to change. I looked at the time and realized I had only about 30 minutes until Brett would be here. Raziel and I had spent more time than I anticipated together, leaving me in a rush. I didn’t care. I wasn’t particularly looking forward to the next set of events that were coming. Knowing exactly what happened to Eric, but having to pretend that I didn’t know, and worse, pretend that I was upset over his disappearance, was going to kill me. I had never been a good liar, so I was practicing what I would do and say while I got ready. I knew a search crew would consist of walking and covering ground so I decided to wear my combat boots, along with some black spandex shorts and a lighter gray colored loose t-shirt. I threw on a baseball cap, opting to bunch my hair into a loose ponytail at the nape of my neck. I was trying to fit in, look as Human as I could. I never cared before, but Eric’s parents would be there and I knew this. I w

~(Raziel) After my meetup with Rayne, I attempted to keep my emotions under control. I really did, but they got the best of me, as per usual. So I materialized in front of the silver gate to Raphael’s home. I narrowed my eyes at the infinity symbol standing vertically on the gate, trying to hold back the rage that was bubbling at the sheer sight of it. "Fuck it, bust that motherfucker down." Nero snarled. I took a single fireball and blew the gate apart. I stalked onto Raphael’s property up to his front door. "Raphael!" I roared, as I threw another fireball into his front door and blew it off the hinges. "I'm going to fucking kill you." I yelled, as I threw fireball after fireball destroying everything around me. I stalked up the stairs using magic to unshelve every book in his library. It sent silver glitter flying around the entire room. This reminded me of Rayne, and that made me even more enraged. I finally got to the silver double doors. I knew they were just like

~(Rayne) My sleep was restless, if you could even call it sleep. My mind was swimming with everything Brett had told me, and all of the new knowledge I had gained. I was still stressed about Eric, expecting to hear anytime that they had found his remains. I didn’t even check my phone this morning because I slept in so anyone could have messaged me already. Likely though, it would be Jae or Brett. I still had to get to training this morning and was now about to be late. “Shit!” I cried out loud when I realized just how late it actually was. I threw on a gold sports bra, black leggings and my new gold tennis shoes I recently bought to match. I quickly threw my hair up in a high pony and ran out the door. I contemplated not even showing up… I knew Alpha Drake was back from his travels this week and I was really enjoying my time not having to deal with him. But I knew he would kill me if I ditched out. He wouldn’t care what I was going through, and I also hadn’t even told him

I'm not where I belong, I don't belong with you!" I screamed. My mark blazed with a fiery passion, fueled by my defiant words. I looked down briefly, and both of my hands were now engulfed in green flames. Raphael looked back at me as he got up off the floor. Surprise, and then hurt filled his eyes which sent a pang of guilt through me. I didn’t mean to hurt his feelings, but this guilt was, no doubt, influenced by the mark. Honestly, I was surprised. I couldn't believe I was able to resist the marks pull. My memories came in jumbled sections. Everything was second to the mark and my need to be close to Raphael, even when I knew I shouldn’t be. “How… how did you do that, Rayne? How are you resisting the marks pull? That is impossible!” He stammered as he started walking back my way. “No Raphael, stay away from me.” I said with conviction. Little did he know I was absolutely shaking inside. I knew that if he came even one step closer that I wouldn’t be able to resist him a

He sat me down on his bed, moving the gold and black pillows from behind me. Sitting next to me, he took me into his arms. "Thank you. I'm so sorry, I don’t know what happened." I said with sincerity in my voice. “Shhh darling, it’s ok. You’re alright.” He said softly, while running his hand through my silver hair. His demeanor was very different from the Raziel that I usually deal with. All snark and cockiness was absent, replaced with deep concern. It was very strange, but I was too distraught to really focus on the changes. He snapped and produced us both drinks of liquid gold. “Drink, you’ll feel better.” He said. I drank the liquid, sipping it this time rather than taking it as a shot like I had the drink Raphael had given me. Raziel was right. It did make me feel better. Besides the uncomfortable burning of my mark, I was definitely feeling less anxious. My hands weren’t tingly, I didn't feel like I was accidentally calling The Shadows. I wasn’t even really panicking

The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 61
I mentally stumbled, reeling from the sudden revelation as I spoke to Wynter in stunned inquiry. "What??! How?!" Wynter's response was a mirror of my own shock, her mental voice rising to a shriek. "I have no idea, Rayne!! Oh my god!" Before I could further process this bombshell, Raziel had closed the gap between us and swept me into his arms, his eyes blazing with exhilaration. "I knew it!" He exclaimed, his voice trembling with emotion. "I fucking knew it, but I just had to be sure." My mind reeled as I struggled to comprehend the impossible. "How is this happening?! I thought my mate bond was gone?!" I exclaimed, my words tumbling out in a chaotic mix of confusion and awe. And then, as if summoned by the turmoil of emotions, The Shadows emerged for everywhere and nowhere. Their dark presence coalesced from the very air itself to envelop us in an icy, unsettling chill. The Shadows' emergence seemed to have a palpable, living quality to it, as if every Shadow that existe

My entire pack was here! Roman came in behind me yelling surprise and blowing into one of those little horns that made an obnoxious noise. You know, the ones with the streamers on the end. I couldn’t help but laugh at his childlike nature. I could smell the burgers and plethora of other grilled foods being prepared. Looking towards the mouthwatering smells I could see Wolves from the pack out cooking. Even though I swear we had just eaten, I definitely wanted to eat whatever it was they were making. There was an open bar on the other side of the arena that I spotted, which I was definitely going to partake in, and I noted that the whole arena was decorated in gold decorations. As I scanned the crowd, I noticed that every single person was adorned with some touch of gold, whether it was a subtle accent or a more elaborate display. The synchronicity was striking, and I felt a thrill of delight as I realized that everyone's attire perfectly complemented my own gold dress. It

(6 Months later)Things had been going well in the pack. I had been helping with training and doing other side jobs for Alpha Drake. Our relationship had really blossomed into something amazing. I was no longer afraid of him or disgusted by him. We were strictly professional, with an occasional flirty comment from him, that I mostly just ignored. Nothing too wild though. It was more fun than anything. I realized that he was only this way with me, and usually only without the presence of others. He still had an image to maintain and I understood that. Since moving in with Raziel, I'd learned that being part of my pack was an essential part of who I was. The brief period of separation had left me feeling restless and unfulfilled. But now that I'd settled back into a routine with the pack, I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. I was grateful that Raziel understood and respected my need for balance in my life. He didn't mind that I was still deeply connected to the pack, and hi

Once we made it back to his room I sat him down on his bed and looked into his golden orbs. But before I could speak he took my face in his hands. “I am sorry I lied to you about Jae and what happened. I know this is what you refer to because this is the only thing I have ever hidden from you and regardless of my intent, I know it was wrong. I promise never to hide anything from you, ever again.” There wasn’t even a moment when I thought I wouldn’t forgive him, but this made it even more clear that I was willing to go through a lot for this man. “Thank you, for keeping it from me. Honestly, I wasn’t in the mindset to handle such a devastating loss. But I am now, and I’m ok.” I said. I figured I would tell him about Jae and Jordan, but not right now. I was exhausted. Dying, and then being reincarnated by The Shadows, really took its toll. As tired as I was, my mind was still racing. Although I was still upset at Raphael, the hatred I was feeling before was completely gone.
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 57
~(Rayne)I felt weightless, as if suspended in mid-air. It was disorienting, considering I could've sworn I was just being propelled through the earth at breakneck speed. But when I finally materialized, I found myself standing in a familiar yet unsettling landscape. The scenery around me seemed to match the area just outside the pack arena in Maine, but something was off. A gaping hole, which I was certain I had just emerged from, was nowhere to be seen. Instead, I stood amidst an eerie stillness, the sky above tinged with an ominous reddish hue that cast an unnatural glow over everything. There were many Wolves here training, and I could hear them being led by an unknown male voice. He sounded powerful, with conviction. I made my way to the arena and looked inside. I was right, a strong looking male figure was teaching about 25 Wolves. I leaned on the side of the arena bleachers and watched. Some of the Wolves training looked young, like children. Others were full

~(Raziel) This battle had been ruthless, and knowing that it was pointless to even try and intervene, I was somewhat enjoying the show. Things seemed as if they were coming to a head, but what would that outcome entail? These were the questions I wasn’t sure I wanted the answers to. I looked up at my brother and we locked eyes just as he sent multiple giant black fireballs hurtling my way. Beside me, Alpha Drake dodged to safety, and I instantly materialized to the side, narrowly avoiding the inferno. But Roman remained paralyzed, frozen in shock, utterly helpless. I knew I couldn't reach him in time. That's when I witnessed a selfless act that would haunt me forever. Rayne materialized directly in front of Roman, positioning herself to bear the full force of the attack. I watched in unspeakable horror as the twin fireballs struck her with unrelenting ferocity, the blast slamming into her chest with devastating precision. My heart plummeted, sinking like a stone into the

Raphael barely had time to regain his footing before I launched both fans at him with deadly precision, hoping to connect with flesh once again. He materialized out of the way, but he was still a second too late as one of my fans bit deep into his calf muscle. A triumphant smirk spread across my face as I watched my fans, with almost sentient loyalty, boomerang back into my waiting hands, ready to be wielded again in our dance of vengeance. The Darkness once again asserted its influence, healing Raphael's wounds with an otherworldly swiftness. But what happened next caught me off guard. With a sudden, sharp motion, Raphael clenched his fist, and my fans were torn from my grasp, flying toward him as if drawn by an unseen force. I expected him to catch them, but instead, he unleashed a black fireball that struck the fans with incredible accuracy, shattering them into a hundred glittering fragments. Blades and shards of gold spun through the air, suspended for a moment in a dea
The Reaver Chronicles: Raziel (Book 1) Chapter 54
As much as I didn’t want to see him, Raphael was honestly looking like a gorgeous, dark God. I couldn't deny that I was attracted to him. It was impossible not to be. He had on a solid black suit with a silver suit vest and silver shoes. His dark hair was perfectly positioned on his head in a neat short cut. He never had a hair out of place. He had stubble on his chin, which made him look a little gruff. His silver eyes were solid black, as black as night. He was absolutely breathtaking in this form. But what caught me off guard was the unexpected, visceral pull I felt towards him. It was a sensation that was decidedly absent before. This newfound attraction was unmistakably sensual, igniting a spark of desire within me that I neither welcomed nor understood. My frustration mounted as I struggled to come to terms with this unwelcome development. My mark reacted out of its own volition. It must have sensed Raphael’s feelings for me, and responded by burning with an intense,

Alpha Drake was in his office talking to Roman. He looked up and I could see a brief flash of fear followed by worry, snake through his eyes. My smile seemed to calm his mind though. “Hi Alpha!” I said excitedly. I ran up to him and threw my arms around him. He stood there for a moment in complete shock. I had never done anything like that before, especially not in front of another Wolf from the pack. I was a little worried what his reaction might be knowing he had an image to uphold. But then he slowly wrapped me in a bear hug, calming all of my previous worries. My mark raged out of control, its fiery energy surging to a fever pitch. I couldn't help but wonder if it was somehow attuned to the emotions of those around me, burning brighter in response to their feelings. I wondered if it burned worse when they were in proximity as a warning, or if it just didn’t like Alpha Drake. I ignored it, pulled away and smiled, then looked over and locked eyes with Roman. I coul
